Energy storage is critical to New York’s clean energy future. As renewable power sources like wind and solar provide a larger portion of New York’s electricity, storage will store and provide clean energy when and where it is most needed.

As New York continues to invest and build its cleaner grid, energy storage will allow us to better use current resources more efficiently and with fewer emissions. With storage, New York’s grid can reduce electricity from the dirtiest power plants during periods of peak demand, such as on hot summer days.

Energy Storage

In line with Governor Cuomo’s commitment, New York State aims to reach 1,500 MW of energy storage by 2025 and 3,000 MW by 2030. In addition to providing roughly $2 billion in gross benefits and avoiding more than one million metric tons of CO2 emissions, by 2030 New York’s energy storage industry could create approximately 30,000 jobs. Additionally, energy storage will help achieve the aggressive Clean Energy Standard goal of getting 50% of New York’s electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
